adding the allegations are borne out of ignorance.<\/p>\n<p>Ursula Owusu stands accused of collecting bribes as a condition for the award of contract for the issuance of a national ID card, an allegation she has since dismissed with contempt.<\/p>\n<p>In keeping with the promise of investigating all his appointees against whom corruption allegations are made, the president has directed the CID to investigate Ursula Owusu together with two other Chiefs of Staff- Abu Jinapor and Francis Asenso Boakye.<\/p>\n<p>Director of Communication at the presidency Eugene Arhin confirmed the police CID has contacted the two accusers to back their allegations with evidence.<\/p>\n<p>Even before investigations will begin, the Communications Minister Ursula Owusu has categorically refuted the allegations.<\/p>\n<p>It is against this backdrop that Mr Andah speaking on Adom FM\u2019s Morning Show \u2018Dwaso Nsem\u2019 Monday believes corruption allegations against the Minister are false explaining that the NIA has not open a bid for the National ID project.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_39681\" style=\"width: 300px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\"
